📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to obtain an IP address from a NETBIOS name using WSD from the Windows command line. The consensus is that there is no built-in command line or PowerShell method for this, and users would need to develop a custom client or explore the WSD API. The overall sentiment indicates that achieving this task requires manual development or third-party solutions, as it isn't directly supported by standard Windows commands.

How do I get the ip address of a NETBIOS name using WSD from the command line (not power shell).

This is Windows Explorer (not IE) doing what I want, but I want to do it from the command line also

An image from 'How do I get the ip address of a NETBIOS name using WSD?'. A network window shows one computer named RN6 with IP 192.168.255.10 discovered via WSD.

There is no command line or powershell method for doing so. You'd have to build your own client.
